About Me

Double Duces now! Still attending the University of Lincoln-Nebrasaka, Native American Studies Major, Ethnic Studies Minor, I am Treasurer for UNL's Native American group UNITE (University of Nebraska Inter-Tribal Exchange) and ya know, trying to get through school so I can be off to save the world one plighted community at a time :)As a woman living in a Christian society, I just want to throw this quote out there for other women (and men) to think about. It was said by Matilda Joslyn Gage in 1893, "the most grievous wrong ever inflicted upon woman has been in the Christian teaching that she was not created equal with man, and the consequent denial of her rightful place in Church and State"© whateverlife.com© whateverlife.com

My Interests

Everyone knows that Native Americans have been given the shitty end of the stick since they were first invaded by Spanish and European colonists. But does anyone know why we don't celebrate Hitler Day if we're going to go ahead and celebrate Columbus Day? Does anyone know why we still celebrate Thanksgiving Day as if the Jewish genocide was very different from the Indian genocide by our American ancestors? Does anyone know why our middle school textbooks didn't include the fact that Hitler designed his methods for terminating the Jewish race off of Columbus' methods for dealing with his "Indian problem"? yeah, me niether. That's one tiny aspect of American education I want to change one day as well as the quality of life children on reservations receive today. Many are living lives lacking in health and education as well as motivation from parents and teachers for self-improvement. Those kids are the future leaders of their tribes and they need to be taken better care of in all aspects of life!

I'd like to meet:
